Well, we can start with purging the expression "antisemitism," which had no honest meaning anyway. It is, nothing more than a term adopted by Zionists to promote the Idea of Jews (who are a people of the world from around the world ) as Semites.

After all it was a Central European Judeophobe who ignorantly described Jews of Europe as Semites. At that time Westen Jews had no concept of themselves as a Semetic people. But the idea was attractive just as other myths of race and origins and Volk were the rage as feudalistic orders were falling apart.

Every little group had their own from the Polish aristocracy who believed they were descendent of Pesian Warriors ( and had nothing to to with polish peasants ) to Germans who latched onto myths of Ayrian Kingdoms to Jews of Europe who embraced thoughts of being a an ancient and closed Semitic people wandering around.

Forget ideas of "Semitism," to describe Jews and call it what it is : anti Judaism, or Judeophobia for those who harbor ill thought to people of the Jewish faith.

With that it is clear what we are talking about and what is to be confronted.

"Elizabeth Warren use to be..." Don't know if she ever was 100% upright and honest. A closer look, shows she is an intelligent opportunist.

She gets lots of political mileage and attention with her theatrics of scolding the financial industry at Senate hearings which are just a show for public consumption -- but in reality are mostly meaningless.

It is politically safe for her to do that and she -- unlike most all of her colleagues -- knows what she talking about. But this makes her a one trick pony .

She is clueless about the greater world beyond US borders and allows herself to be a puppet of others. Call her out with good questions on why she supports the deeply damaging support of a coloniel enterprise -- at what we know to be great costs to the US -- and she will squirm and run like the rest of them.

The irony is that expression was first coined by a bilge spewing Judeophobe and promptly adopted by the early Zionist movement for self description as Semites. LOL. Semitism has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with European Jews Willhelm Marr was writing about.

But hey, if the propagandist wanted to call them that, they would wear that mantle. Now that is self hatred.

But yes, the same will be and is said about the Qataris -- who are really Saudi and as far as the KSA is concerned Qatar is the "Peninsula," and they would run over it in a day if the US base were not in Qatar. In fact, during the first Gulf War, the Saudis annexed land in Qatar, shutting it off completely for its former border with the UAE. The world was too busy with shock and awe in Kuwait to bother with what the Saudis were doing. Nor did they care.

After all, the British drew the lines for Qatar and made a deal with the Al Thanis and others to give them a country and treat the Bedu like British Royals for access to oil and gas. Same gig as when they cut the deals with Saud, renaming the Arabian Peninsula the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Yes, the Saudis and Qataris are despised by the rest of the Arab world as arrogant, ignorant and crude. When their money runs out (and that is happening now) they will continue to have desperately poor pick up their trash and wipe their behinds for a bowl of rice or piece of bread.

As Israel -- in its shared hysteria about Iran -- pins its future to the KSA, it will hasten the demise of a sustainable Zionist project.

But this will not happen without more and massive conflict. The mess in Yemen might be a taste of what is to come.

Theo, that about sums it up perfectly. There are no viable choices. So what is a voter to do? Sanders may not be a good president, and there is much troubling about him -- and not only his age.

Yet the political elites and entrenched interests (which HRC represents) working against the true interests of the citizenry would face a well-deserved shake up if Sanders were to win. And for that alone he may deserve a vote .

Charlotte Beers! Amazing you mention her name. I knew her appointment was a disaster when Colin Powell stated that if she was the ad exec. who got him to buy uncle Bens rice, she could sell US policy to the Arab world.

Eye roll...... Take a shot....shake the head.

It only showed what a pathetic bubble these movers and shakers lived in. And she was a federal appointee!

No wonder the US Middle East policy is a disaster of epic scale.

"SHE got me to buy Uncle Ben's rice,” said Colin Powell, America's secretary of state, early last year as he defended his appointment of Charlotte Beers as chief spin-doctor. The 66-year-old Texan steel magnolia dresses her poodle in sweaters, flirts with company bosses and is lauded ...."

Indeed, she must take care. A threat to the Zionist project is a threat to Israel. A threat to Israel will be eliminated. That is how governments, many which are criminal in nature, preserve themselves .

She must take care. But should the Zionist Israeli project eliminate her as others have been in the past .....many lights might go off.

The Hasbara brigade came out last night, in force and all with the same line in a different dress: that Israel is being singled out (not true) and that Europeans "hate Jews." It is all so pathetic.

This comment starts the stream of dishonest whining:

Stuart Wilder Doylestown, PA 1 day ago
If the E.U.'s concern about human rights also resulted in the labelling of products resulting from child labor in China, from Ukrainian and Georgian territories occupied by Russia, to products for countries that ban Christianity, persecute Christians, and prosecute them for practicing their religion, and countries that tolerate slavery and ban women for having the barest of human rights (a group that include the countries from which the E.U. gets most of its oil) I would think this is something other than just another expression of singling out Jews for hate. The E.U. singles out Israel though, so it is impossible to see this as yet another atavistic expression of European fear and hatred of Jews, a 2,000 year old tradition."

There are other comments claiming products from Cyprus and the Ukraine are not labeled as such. They are, indeed, and always have been.

Just as products made in China, etc. and consumers are allowed to make choices without deception. Why should Israel be allowed to falsely label goods?

The US and Israel import energy from Middle East states set up by the British, based on drilling concessions. Israel, like the KSA and Qatar have little freedom of movement for workers on visas and limited civil rights. This is endemic to the Middle East , including Israel.

Same 'ole, same 'ole....look over there! Everyone hates us.....blah blah. It is all so tiring and dishonest.

The AID industry is a racket to funnel funds into arms and programs constructed by local elites with their associates on K-Street in DC to their own hands.

You and I can go to an impoverished country that is targeted for aid and make contact with some locals -- those in power and influence -- and then write a proposal to build and run, for example, a education center for girls. We fill in the blanks and get the dough.

Then with the help of our local contact we build a center -- 'with the help of his own contracting company, or course -- and then buy tons of supplies from our buddies in New Jersey and ship it (or not) to country X where it sits there in boxes.

But the USAID (under the State Department) has on file that all this money was spent on aid. Reality is that it never went to aid and to doing anything but enriching a small circle.

I've always found the expression "homeland" to refer to the US revolting. From the moment I heard it in that context.

Prior to that I had only heard it as a reference to Israel as used by, for example, Wolf Blitzer when talking about Israel.

The word is a translation of Heimat, which was a Nazi term to to refer to Germany. And was this term was adopted, as Hartman says, from the early Zionist movement? Perhaps so, as it is Zio speak for Israel.

It is no wonder then that Chertoff pushed to name his agency "Homeland Security"

This disgusting language, with all it's implications, of fear and war and otherness, must be done away with.

RoHa, that is what I thought. This costume is completely in the spirit of All Hallows' Eve (Halloween) -- adopted by Christians as All Saints day -- When the evil and dark spirits of the winter underworld come out.

And to fend them off and send them underground, you protect your home with a jack o lantern, and dress as something even more frightening to keep the dark spirits away.

TErry is vapid, superficial and boring. She is all Zio babble. I remember she was interviewing someone on developments in understanding Autism. It was an interesting guest and she managed to take a side thread and turn the interview into Nazis, Holocaust, etc.

Her guest was polite and tried to stay on track.

Gross is an embarrassment and NPR is increasingly provincial and boring.

Gosh, Yonah, you make Israel sound like a quaint little sentimental pet for those who have affection for a national construct.

I was troubled by these intelligent and brave writers profession of "love for Israel." It made them sound a bit Hebrew school brainwashed -- repeating the nonsensical platitude. But maybe they have to put that in their message to try and fend off the attack machine now gearing up to destroy them.

There are so many peoples of the world who were and are terribly vulnerable. Do you think creating a new "state" with walls is the answer? If not, why should it be for those Jews who perceive to be vulnerable and are taught from early childhood "everyone hates me....."

BTW, isolating someone and telling them everyone is out to get them is Classic Stockholm syndrome methods.

Lysis, Thanks. Right. Poorly thought through example. Ok, another invention/breakthrough under the Nazi Regime. Werner Fossman's who did the first cardiac catherization (on himself), which was to revolutionize cardiac diagnostics and treatment to this day.

I do not know what God or Book he identified with, but like many or most all in any government University position of the time, he was a member of THE Party....

But he was fired for experimenting on himself and lost his professional license and any possibility of practicing medicine. Then when he was wasting away in a POW camp, his paper on the procedure was read in Chicago. .....

Developing a strain of the cherry tomato is not a big deal. If the tasteless variety sold in stores is the strain developed by the Israeli Ag industry, it is "perfected" for commerce, but not as a quality food.

Strains of fruits are developed and propagated all the time. It is NOT rocket science. And surely nothing to be bragging about at the UN -- doing so makes Netanyahoo look as pathetic as he is.

And it is irrelevant. Lots of good things happen to come from citizens of bad regimes. East Germany under Hoeneker gave us breakthroughs in geo thermal energy. The Nazis did terrible terrible science, but they also did some excellent stuff we benefit from today. Aspirin, for one.

Strange, you'd not know it considering that Samantha -fetch-dog Powers was instructed not to attend Nuttyyahoo's speech. Or that the US delegation refused applaud him as all Nutty's minions did in the peanut gallery.

Right, those who survived the death camps -- Jews and others -- are survivors. But time has taken most all of this population and the Zionist propaganda machine has extended the expression "survivor" to include even those who were not yet born during this terrible period. But children of survivors and children of refugees. With that, even children of Henry Kissinger (if he had any) would be considered survivors.

So with this new definition of "Holocaust Survivors" we all are survivors. After all, most of us have at least grand parents, if not parents) great grand parents, etc. that survived some kind of atrocity somewhere at sometime.

@jackdraw, let's not be stupid. Traditional Arab culture (outside of the nomadic culture) is fearful of dogs. Just as orthodox and Jewish culture. Israeli's who "love dogs" are Europeans who moved to Israel in the Colonial project.

And as an aside, walk through any orthodox or traditional Jewish neighborhood in Europe or the US (as in Switzerland, which has a large Jewish Population, or lBrooklyn) with a dog and see what happens! You might just have some rocks thrown at you!

But Dogs in Israel do, indeed, have more rights and legal protection than Palestinians

You said it yourself. Israelis Love dogs. (but then again, only some do. )

It is still quite PC (politically correct) to trash the Catholic Church in the US. The Vatican is a very old institution with lots of bad baggage, as all institutions. And the Church's reprehensible handling of the abuse scandals -- just to protect the institution -- is too fresh to be ignored. And it remains easy food for more demonization of that institution.

Many, if not most, Americans are not comfortable with Catholicism in their midsts. (Just yesterday I listened to a popular radio host in the middle of the country going on about the Pope as Anti Christ, Catholicism as a satanic cult, blah blah.)

Catholics are still an easy target to stir up fear and hate in the US. To stay safe, or relevant, directly addressing the inhumane and criminal occupation of Palestine will have grave and negative consequences for the Church, especially in Palestine where it is beleaguered under Israeli control. Is that an excuse? No, but probably what is going on.

So the Pope speaks on the border of the issue and addresses the immorality of the weapons industry, which kills so many innocents. Will that have any impact? No.

But some of those bought off legislators just might have a second thought when they authorize more killing of Palestinians through their endless stupid resolutions and weapon sales to Israel.

And over time, second thoughts, a twinge as they fall asleep, could spur questions and change. It will take decades, but we've already come far.

Because we are Jews, we have a particular legitimacy in voicing an alternative view of American and Israeli actions and policies. As Jews, we can make the distinction between real anti-Semitism and the cynical manipulation of that issue to shield Israel from legitimate criticism.

I remember that now purged statement very well. That, for other reasons is why I never could support JVP. Exclusive, Zionist, and not about peace .

Exclusivity, control and usurping the public discussion into a narrow framework around ideas of perceived, past and enduring "Anti Semitism," a revolting expression that has nothing to do with Judeophobia or fear/hatred of Jews. (After all, this expression created by a Judeophobe and adopted and clung to by Zionists, is an anti Jewish expression in itself to the core. I will not use it.)

JVP and their friends have really little interest in the plight of the Palestinian people, and a great interest in protecting the Zionist project -- a constructed state for those who identify with the Jewish religion. And to shield the public image of the Jewish community. An organization that identifies itself as Jewish only for for Peace, after all. (What does this peace mean ?)

That what's her name -- the Rhetoric Student -- spent all her efforts on discussion of "evidence " for Weir's"Anti Semitism" says it all regarding JVP. It is not about Justice for the Palestinian people. It is about their definition of the "Jewish Voice....."

JVP (with it's banal and innoculous self description) is also not about painful truth or justice. If it were, it would be strong, confidence and not threatened by perceptions of Judeophobia by the uttering or appearances of an Allison Weir years ago, regardless of what one may think of her work.

Instead, in their weakness and like thugs, they now attempt to destroy the woman and her work. Hey, it interferes with their "voice."

I cannot add to this fascinating thread, which I have read over the past two days.

Nah, they were all required to make a statement or sign something to that effect.

Yes, inviting performers and then having them sign political - thought statements is weird and smacks of McCarthyism. Not pretty.

It is, however, little different from the pressure our government representatives are put under to profess their constant love of Israel and promises to defend it uber alles. If they don't they are purged.

Hop, European banks may not call it a "boycott" in the sense of a political or BDS-like boycott. (that is something the Israeli media will scream to make the public believe they are victims of those nasty goy-Europeans .

The Euro banks will just stop doing business with Israeli banks (all of them) involved in financing and operating with the illegal occupation and stealing.

They must do this to avoid reparations that will surely be imposed at some point in the future.

I read recently (I forget where) of a conference to be held this October in Iran among all the major hotel chains to get going on beefing up the Iranian hotel industry to accommodate international travelers .

Iran is simply too important for the world, and Israel and theirs rentier-energy economy friends (all of whom have benefited from the isolation of Iran) will not be able to stop normalized relations.

A lot seems off about this report of a so-called boycott. Granted, we are reading a second hand report on a report, and after a translation.

This has been discussed before on MW. The only thing the European banking and insurance industries are concerned about is the real possibilities of reparations for having their hand, if only indirectly, in financing illegal displacement of a people and taking possession of their properties. The damages could span generations.

Europe has seen this before.

So language of "siege" or "boycott " is the misleading hysterics of the victim mindset.

European financial institutions are looking into a foggy crystal ball and seeking their own protection from what is coming down the road. That is all.

1982 was the tipping point for me as well. I started to do homework and asked questions. But I think that was an event of massive scale that, maybe for the first time, received some mass media coverage in the West.

But what happened in Lebanon on 1982 is an example of what had been going on for a very long time to secure the Zionist enterprise.

As one former poster (since banished) here stated, the "cleansing" of the Arabs was necessary to build the Jewish state.

BS. No Jew is denied from the KSA or other states like Qatar for being Jewish. There are Jews working in KSA and Qatar. I know because I live and work with Jews in these States (well, British created states, that is). In fact there are Jews working in critical jobs like health care in these countries.

Point is you are full of it .

Try harder with your propaganda and lies.

PS, if you really believed what you just wrote you might want to think hard about the Zio pablum you have been spoon fed and swallowed from early childhood.

Pollard cut a deal with his handlers (while on his Israeli paid honeymoon in Paris) to receive an annual income for a period of 10 years paid into a Swiss bank account.

As his gig lasted only 17 months that account was probably long closed, if it ever existed. And in today's world you can be sure the Swiss are not holding some dinky account for him.

Warning: this is barf material, but here is an interview with Pollard (who calls the prosecuting attorneys, who are Jewish, kapos); and his wife complains of stomach aches and being in Auschwitz while in a US prison. And then the Dersh -- who obviously has no handle on the details of his case, or is lying to distort reality in his defense of Pollard.

The criminal and treasonous traitor will be released on parole. He will be coddled and taken well care of by the Zionist project active in the US -- with the Israeli government funding it in the background.

This will make for ugly optics on many levels.

Tablet is projecting and accusing Kerry and Obama of releasing a Pollard on parole (which he was already up for) just to trap US Zionists and Israel into looking bad as they inevitably celebrate the release of their man.

That is the only thing that might be right that bizarre article of mis truths and lies contains. Every paragraph is filled with a lie. The author is either entirely brainwashed with a massive dose of BS or a low life propagandist of the first order.

"However, there is also no doubt that Pollard has paid a much higher price than others who have committed similar crimes by giving secrets to American allies like South Korea, Greece, the Philippines, and Saudi Arabia. "

That is the first crap in the article. Pollard probably did more long lasting damage than any spy ever. His colleagues in treason were pikers.

The guy was released because he was finally up for parole as the terms of his sentencing. That's it.

That this timed with attempts for normalization of relations with Iran while Israel barks like mad dogs in the night about it might be a happy coincidence. This reminds the Attention Deficit Suffering US public that Israel is neither an ally nor "friend" worthy of the endless support of the American tax payer.

It is a colonial project based on tribal ideas of exceptionalism , looking out for its own interests. It has neither regard nor respect of the US. Why should it?

Time for more on this later, but yes one has to dig deep for what went on with Pollard.

He was sentenced to life and now up for parole. So after serving his full term he will be out on parole.

He was originally issued a lighter sentence, and only after the original sentencing was the judge presented with classified information on the extent of the damage and cost to the US. A little more on that here(but it does not cover all)

I was working with the State dept at the time -- and some felt he should never see the light of day.

I am neutral on his release. But he is a criminal and not only was out to sell information -- any information -- to any and all governments, he had no concern of damage to other human beings or his country.

Israel was his only taker. They sold the information on the RASIN networks to the Soviets. To this day Israel has not revealed the details and contents of their sales.

As for loss of life to operatives in Russia -- there is only speculation around that and we will never know.

There is so much sickening around the Pollard case. That Israel instrumentalized this human scum as a political cause is just one pathetic and sick episode in the Pollard saga. It has not helped Pollard and only harms Israel.

I threw a number out there to support an argument that the UK has enormous interests in the Gulf States; that the the world may blame (rightly so) the US for disastrous policy in the ME, the US is a clumsy bit player in the scheme of things. And "at the end of the day," -- as the Brits like to say-- the US has less to protect and even less influence.

Yes, I think if we got some reliable stats, we'd find hundreds of thousands of British working in the Gulf States. They are highly paid and send their dough home.

An article in the Telegraph puts the figure at 160k just in the UAE.

"In the last three years, British ministers have made over 230 visits to Gulf states, reflecting the fact that 160,000 British citizens live in this region. Bilateral trade between the Gulf and UK, meanwhile, has grown by almost 40 per cent since 2011 to reach £30 billion."

Hamad (the primary system of health care delivery) senior administrators are mainly British. The former British minister of Health, Lord Darzi, is the architect to advise on the 2030 vision for health care in Qatar.

The rail system being built there is heavily administered by British -- controllers, accountants, engineers.

You might want to visit again.

The Al Thanis of Qatar and the Al Kahlifas of Bahrain were trained at Sandhurst. The British have trained the security forces of Bahrain, who brutally repress their own population to keep the AlKahlifa familiy and relatives in power.

The UK, which put these countries in place and cut deals with the controlling tribes of the time (planting ideas of self appointed royalty, which has no cultural tradition in the Gulf) has a lot to protect in that region.

There are well over 200K skilled British workers in Qatar alone. From health care administrators to architects to accountants. Granted, the UK is not "dependent" upon that, but this represents enormous influence in the region. Soft power that translates into a significant flow of funds into the UK. (just look at how much Gulf money is invested in London alone!)

Spend a few months working there and you will see.

And the UK has stated the reason for the new and controversial naval base is to protect their vital interests.

The UK has always been and still is pulling imperial strings in the Middle East.

They have been at it for a very long time and are skilled masters, while the US remains a loud bumbling attack dog, knocking things over in it's pursuit of whatever.

There is a reason the UK is building a naval base in Bahrain right now. They have lots of interests to protect as the US likely disengages over the next decades from the Middle East .

Unlike the US, the UK is dependent on the largess of the Gulf States. Not only for trade and oil and gas, but to employ the hundreds of thousands of British citizens, who send their money back home each month.

She believes in nothing other than following the scent of money. There is more money behind normalization of relations with Iran than this band of Zio billionaires could ever throw at her .

Besides, it would be the end of her political machine if she were to give aid to sabotaging this -- not to mention that if she's does (cough cough) become POTUS, she will reap many benefits from this.

But to keep her paymasters happy and fed, she will spew demonization of Iran and keep the weapons flow into Israel going. It was H. Clinton, after all, along with McCain that made sure Israel had no accountability for using cluster bombs on civilian sites in Lebanon.

Oren’s taunting treatment of American Jews: according to Oren, they are cowardly and “weak,” with the result that they’ll throw Israel under the bus out of “fear for their well-being in America.”

That is a rather disgusting sentiment.

Maybe Oren intends to be offensive and push emotional buttons here to provoke proof of loyalty and love. These are the manipulative tactics of the abuser in a relationship.

The day will come when many Jews do not identify with the Zionist project and will proudly and confidently walk away from this abusive relationship of the nationalistic project sucking at the teat of Judaism. And Jews will be free.

This is what someone like Oren who has devoted his life to a mystical nationalistic cause is so afraid of. They will shown wrong and standing alone as "their people" set themselves free.

Howl is an important and fascinating work for the times. It might no longer be read in 50 years. It could go the way of writers like Flannery O'Conner who are no longer read, but were " important. " 30 years ago.

Having observed and experienced this first hand in the late 70's Ginsberg was a deeply -- and disturbingly so -- misogynistic man.

Orange wants to be around in 10-20 years. The occupation cannot sustain itself.

There may be serious financial reparations from those who profit from the occupation. Service providers like transportation and communication will be the easy targets when that day comes. Orange sees the writing on the wall and wants out.

Great letter. Her refusal to receive AIPAC in her office was well deserved after, as she writes:

"a hateful attack that is vile and offensive to me and the families I represent. I call on AIPAC to immediately condemn this un-American attack and disavow any attempt to use this type of threat and intimidation to stifle legitimate policy differences. I will not stand to be labeled or threatened in a manner that questions my patriotism or my oath of office."

Use of threats and intimidation against an elected official just because of policy differences? That is the stuff of gangsterism.

waiting every day for a month or two at the German or Belgian or American embassy can do that one’s psyche. Or waiting for Polish people to come vacationing so they can sell you car parts for a socialist car.

In the scheme of things that you even had access to an embassy or were in the position to peddle car parts anywhere in the world puts you into the global elite.

Yonah, which people? Those who are Jewish by faith and culture. Jewish history is surely not only about persecution and suffering . (The history of a Jews in settling the early colonial South, being just one example.)

Most all groups can point to current or past suffering and persecution. That alone is not representative of any true culture. And if it promoted to be so, one must ask what or if there is, indeed, a true unifying culture.

African Americans and Palestinians have been or are robbed of their history. We know that. With the dominance of the Holocaust industry, Jews in the US are also robbed of their history and culture in the US. This is quite sad.

I don't know what you mean by the Americans? What are Americans? Canadians, Hondurans, Mexicans, denizens of Detroit?

Charleston South Carolina has a Holocaust memorial monument right in the middle of town . There is no memorial to the men and woman in bondage and slavery who actually built that town.

The first Synagogue in the US was in Charleston. There is a fascinating history there, but it is lost and overshadowed by the Holocaust memorial/museum industry, which is robbing a people of its history and identity.

As an aside, "freshmen..chairman , congressman" is generic for mankind -- men and woman. Yes, language is changing, but I was. Freshman in the woman's college of the brainwashed generation of which you write.

"Worst possible case: Israel would become the state of all of its citizens, regardless of race., instead of being a state of only its Jewish citizens. "

Oh horrors of horrors! Sweaty sheets at night. Please complete the wall, build it higher. Get more automatic shiess anlagen to surround and protect the pure "Jewish only State" from the rest of the world .

The only reason Hillary supports the ongoing negotiations with Iran is because she knows where the wind is blowing. The majority of US citizens support this. Normalized relations will happen. Only Zealots are blind to this.

If she thought for a second it would cost her politically, she would be against it, She will do and say anything to position herself . That is what drives her, and comes with the territory of a life in politics.

Yes, Bernie will make the debate interesting and that might be his purpose here.

But remember, Hillary is a puppet of opinion and interests. Nothing more.

I would not be so sure. She may be smarter, but Hillary fits into that clown car.

Every one of them, including HRC (maybe with the exception of Bernie) badly want the money and support of the I-love-Israel crowd and the conflict industry. They will say and do anything to get it, and Hillary is absolutely no different.

Most voters do not care about Israel and do not understand what Israel has cost the US in $$, loss of influence, credibility and even lives. The clown car wants to keep it that way.

Jeb Bush is saying all the right stuff, and like his brother will be the perfect puppet for some very powerful interests. Hillary will remain an easy target as she does not have broad support among those in her own party, which has been under the control of the Clinton machine for too long now, and weakened the Democratic Party .

A Bush or a Clinton as President, doesn't really make a difference. They dance to the same masters .

You know....I would not even call this lampooning, let alone trolling.

The White House is making it's case, explains the consequences of the agreement framework in the cartoon language and realities of Netanyahu and his cheerleaders and supporters in the US Congress.

Road Runner cartoons is their world, their level of understanding, as demonstrated; and the White House is communicating with Israel and Co., just as Netanyahu communicated to his boys and girls in the US Congress. He sees himself, after all, as a babysitter.

And if this is what they respond to, this is how the WH gets it's message across.

Hundreds of Nukes and a completely unhinged "leader" with hair dyed blue.

When will the world deal with Israel's nuclear threat?

BTW, Israel doesn't matter anymore to US security. It has few resources, protects nothing and is a drag on the US, financially and politically. The bill has become too high to protect Zionism and dreams of the Rapture. The gig will soon be over.

This is devastating for the peace process,” a crestfallen Yaniv told me at the Zionist Camp party ..."

The "peace process" charade is finally over! We can all stop pretending now!!

Meanwhile paid off stooges in the US Congress in both parties are telling Obama to make nice nice with Benny and that he didn't really mean all those ugly things he said in the heat of the campaign . It was all just a joke, kinda' .

He did and does mean it and this is what got him elected. He has a mandate from the Israeli population to rid Israel of non-Jewish Arabs. That is the consequence of no peace process.

He must create another war to achieve this, and for the love of Zionism, by golly, he'll do it.

And Congress might go right along with it. It will be a disaster for all.

Yes, this is so: nettyanhoo has come out and told the world what we know already -- the Zionist project will do everything it can to make sure there is never ever a Palestinian state or sovergn government. So we can all stop pretending now.

The entire peace negotiations cottage industry, including Fatah, are now irrelevant.

Now the Americans and Europe can continue in their support of Israel's decades long effort to remove or destroy the other, or just walk away from the Zionist enterprise and leave Isreal to itself.

To the horror of the world and many many Israelis, we know what lies ahead when paranoid and racist forces take over a country. The world will then wash their hands of Zionism and the Zionist state.

Meanwhile, The Saudis are grudgingly preparing themselves for life with normalized relations with Iran.

Netanyahu will not and cannot adjust. He will go for broke and destroy "his" country with the help of fellow fanatics. Announcing this to the world is the first of many steps he has to take to complete the Zionist vision. He does not need to pretend now.

He has a good chance of victory in the elections. And with his victory, what will he have to do next to make sure Palestinians have no state, no rights to assure the Zionist dream?

Rocky, have you called the offices of your treasonous, bought off Senator, Roy Blount? He is one of the paid off and packaged Zio cheerleaders in the Senate. He should be gone and this latest buffoonery just might do the clown in.

Menendez worked up the ranks from a Trenton Gau Leiter. He was John Corzine's hand picked successor. New Jersey politics operates under its own rules.

Menendez is not a bright bulb and not respected in the Senate. He will fight this and find little support. As more sludge leaks during the discovery phase, AIPAC's boy, Menendez will be toxic. Nobody, not even AIPAC or readers of Breitbart will want to be associated with Menendez. But AIPAC will also be stained, and this time it might not wear off.

Yes, if it was phrased like that it is very poor style. Asking a question filled with stated assumptions. Best would have been to simply ask if Ms Beyla could have any potential, real or perceived, conflicts of interests?

That is surely one possible development that makes self interested players nervous. More immediately is the ongoing arbitration between Israel and Iran, where Iran looks to prevail -- leaving Israel to pay billions to Iran.

CNN, like anyone who can see beyond their nose, can smell where the wind is blowing. And it is not the welfare state of Israel that has no constitution, no borders, and a rapidly growing poverty rate as the elites continue to plunder the Zionist project while it is still possible.

Besides, human nature being what it is, tires of whining. Iran represents opportunity on many levels. And as this opportunity unfolds the rest of the Middle East, including Israel, will have to adjust to new realities. And that is why KSA and Israel feel so threatened -- there will be a new game no longer based on fear, intimidation, religious exceptionalism, and absolute phony Monarchies. And they don't know how to play it.

Joe, Bibi Nuttyyahoo was right. Americans (politicians) can be pushed in any direction. Push them and they will do what money and pressure wills. They are not leaders, but puppets of the few. And they need those few to keep their jobs. That is our system.

When the financial interests shift away from the Israeli colonial project, our "leaders" will follow. There will no longer be money in that gig. That is slowly, ever so slowly, happening. And it is that -- not the idea of a nuclear Iran -- that freaks Nuttyyahoo out.

Normalized relations with Iran bring the real possibility of much more stability in the Middle East. Iran may well emerge as the partner over the next 50 years. Everyone knows this. Only the Israelis and Saudis are freaked by this prospect.

It is so sad that Pelosi feels she had to wrap her statement in the standard toxic pablum :

"Americans stand shoulder to shoulder with the Israeli people. The state of Israel stands as the greatest political achievement of the 20th century, and the United States will always have an unshakable commitment to Israel’s security."

She still needs the check from AIPAC, et al. Our Congress is a revolting embarrassment.

Will the release of the report on Israel's own secret Nuke program be covered in the MSN?

From Frank Gaffney as reported in Information Clearing House:

"Finally. After many years of official hypocrisy, a US president appears to be playing hardball with Israel. The other day, the US government declassified a 1987 report documenting Israel’s secret nuclear weapons program.

What does it mean? Nothing at all . And that is the point . Seemingly coherent rhetoric with the intent to overwhelm and confuse. It is another way of taking control of the discourse (I can't call it dialogue.) and to silence . It is a sort of Prep School method. But revealing of Lenchner's sophomoric mind.

Is this guy Warren's campaign manager? If so, very very creepy and telling that Warren may be nothing more than a puppet out of her league.

Yes, she does indeed. Word for word. But the weather seems to be slowly changing. She and others will put their toes out once they know it is safe.

For now, she and others understand that they will be destroyed if they dare go off script.

One sign of changing weather is: That threats of political destruction have been made to Congress over failure to attend and cheer Netanyahu are being exposed for what they are: an appalling threat to the US government by foreign interests.

If this gets legs in the media and mind of the public (unlikely for now) politicians will turn like an abused dog who turns on his abusive master.

This is what the AIPACs of the world don't seem to see -- that their dogs in Congress may turn from decades of treats ($$) to obey commands, or abusive beatings (destruction of political careers and defamation. )

Nope. That is the most recent meme of propaganda in both Israel and in placed like Breitbart, which quotes propagandist ib Chief, Krauthamer;

"The one place he’s actively trying to change the regime is in Israel. He’s doing everything he can to outmaneuver, to humiliate, to insult, to give the back of the hand to Bibi Netanyahu knowing that for any Israeli Prime Minister jeopardizing the US-Israeli relationship could be fatal at the polls, and that’s exactly what Obama is doing” he declared...."

You see, this is being twisted that it is Obama who is putting the "relationship" in troubled waters, not Netanyahu .

This is how propagandist work when they start loosing. It is one of the final bottom of barrel last tactics.

Yarmouth is clearly not a stooge. His obvious clear-headed expression and honesty to his constituents is putting his Congressional colleagues to shame.

Every word in his letter is rich with meaning.

"The speech is scheduled less than two weeks before Israeli elections and there is a demonstrable risk that Netanyahu will use the perception of congressional support in his campaign. He did it before. A television ad for his 2013 campaign begins with a shot of the U.S. Capitol, and has footage of rousing applause from members. (House ethics rules prohibit members of Congress from using such footage in political ads.)"

In this paragraph alone he points out not only the wrong appearance for Congress enabling tactics that would be a major ethical breach for these members themselves, but that Netanyahu has no problem with using the US Congress for his own unethical and slimy campaigning .

It's happening. The breakdown and disconnect of the lobby hold over the interest of the United States, that is.

The honorable Congressman Yarmouth has just come out with a statement as to why he will not grace Netanyahu with his presence and forced ovations to be monitored and counted by outside groups to measure his loyalty to a foreign government . Of course his language is even and eloquent, but that is what he means.

The concern of a false flag is real, but if that were to happen at this moment the potential for a massive backfire is great.

The US desire for normalized relations with Iran are simply too great. The will is more than political, but for long term security and....industrial and economic interests. In the longer run these interest are vastly greater than Israel. (And that is one of the true concerns for Israel.)

I suspect Israel will not get away with a false flag at this juncture. And the damage to Israel would be absolutely enormous.

Let's rather hope the Israeli PM simply reveals himself for the lunatic he is and his handlers in the US for the deranged traitors and stooges they are .

@Kathleen, yes it is interesting mantra. One, Israel is not an ally of the US. There is not, and cannot be treaty of alliance as Israel does not have even the basics of defined borders. Until that happens, an ally status is not shared.

Two, countries , nations, do not have friends, but only interests.

Friendships are the stuff of human emotions only.

Now if these talking heads, say "Israel is a state that shares I interests with The US....blah blah" that might cause some thinking and questioning and is why we do not hear truthful language.

This is an interesting update. IF the FBI has such videos, they will not surface.

There was a time when I believed law enforcement, courts and federal agencies worked according to "the law of the land" and for all. But sadly that is not so. The FBI, for example, reports to and is funded by some very powerful interests. They will not make enemies in high places only to lose funding and have careers ruined.

The Dershbags and Princes of the world will be protected by those who also have lots at risk if they go down .

There is a reason Epstein was protected by the government and why those damning videos (assuming they exist) are under lock or already destroyed.

His line is that Congress has the authority to invite anyone they want . And with that he is right, but he fails to say that when a head of state, national leader is invited, there is coordination with the Administration. And of course there is, but the media not call Boehner out on that. And that -- no coordination -- is where the protocol was violated.

Next Boehner follows up with the AIPAC line, that Iran is a terrible threat....blah blah. Here, too, the media allows him to rant on.

Meanwhile Bloomberg reports that Israel's Mossad has gone rogue and does not support Netanyahu's fear mongering on Iran.

With the vast majority of Americans in support of normalized relations with Iran (we are "friends" with some much more horrible governments) support for our Congressional AIPAC puppets might blow away fast as this plays out.

And AIPAC will have to pour an even stiffer drink for Boehner to get him through the day.

And as this unfolds Netanyahu will be screaming Holocaust! AntiSemitism!!
